Successful transfer window slams shut

West Ham have completed their summer transfer window signing a total of eight players before 11 pm this evening.

The Hammers started slow and finished strong in the transfer market today.

Young trio Thierry Nevers from Reading, Armstrong OkoFlex released by Celtic and Pierre Ekwah Elimby released by Chelsea cost around £1m in fees and compensation to their former clubs.

The Hammers got off to a slow start paying £2.5m to convert Craig Dawson from a loan to permanent and another £2.5m as a loan fee to PSG for the services of Alphonse Areola.

Last Friday completed the Hammers completed a deal for Kurt Zouma for £26m with another £5.5m of potentials add-ons

A deal for Nikola Vlasic is through to be a £26m transfer fee and £7m of potential add-ons was completed late last night and announced this morning.

The last signing was Alex Kral on a season-long loan for a £3m loan fee with a £12m obligation to buy based on appearances with £5m of potential add-ons.

The summer spending totals £61m in transfer and loan fees with a further £29.5m of potential financial liabilities of add-ons and obligations to buy.

That is over £90m not including millions in agent fees and tens of millions in wages.

Well done David Moyes and David Sullivan!

  1. No striker 🙄

  2. Excellent transfer window, if David Moyes isn’t worried about adding a striker then neither am I, this team has goals in abundance and from several players both from forwards and midfield and defenders from set pieces. It was important to cut out the errors at the back and Zouma should improve that department. Only the most died in the wool GSB out brigade will find any negativity, but that it is becoming to be like living with a dripping tap, occasionally annoying but it’s not going cause the house to fall down. The rest of us can look forward to an exciting season.

    • its got nothing to do with GSB out ‘brigade’ we still don’t have a striker! I believe that’s on moyes not the board?

      Lets see how this pans out by the next window before we throw around the word excellent
